Re: (TV) The 20 Longest Live Versions Of The Song 'Marquee Moon'

Part 4, with all of the details about Total Recorder, including testimonials,
might be my favorite part of all. Wow.

That being, I un-scientifically always
thought the May 10, 2001 show featured one of the longest performances of
"Marquee Moon", what with the mid-crescendo breakdown, but I guess not. Sigh.
Leo, to think that I spent my snow day just shoveling and trying to keep the
kids from going crazy!

Leo, I
would expect no less...!

A fine, fine piece of detective work/obsessive
behaviour. Congratulations!
